The Fallout Armour (known in German as Ascheregenpanzer) is an armour in Metin2 that exists for all playable classes. The key feature: the base values of the armour are 100 % identical across Warrior, Ninja, Shaman, Sura and Lycan. Only the class-specific name and the item's appearance differ. This makes Fallout Armour part of Metin2's classic armour system, which consistently applies this equivalence logic.
What is Fallout Armour?
Fallout Armour is an armour from the Metin2 item system. The German name suggests a fiery, volcanic design – an impression reinforced by international designations: In Greek the armour is called Θώρακας Μάγματος (Magma Breastplate), in French Armu. pluie de cendr. (Ash Rain Armour) and in English Fallout Armour. The item appears in item databases across several languages, indicating its firm anchoring in the base game.
In the Arabic version, the armour is named درع رماد المطر, in Italian it's called Corazza Pioggiacenere, in Hungarian Hamueső vért and in Romanian Armură Miraculoasă. The variety of translations shows that Fallout Armour is recognised throughout the international Metin2 community.
Metin2's Armour System: Basic Principle
To properly contextualise Fallout Armour, it's worth examining the broader armour system. Metin2 has five playable classes, each with their own armour lines:
- Warrior
- Ninja
- Shaman
- Sura
- Lycan
The crucial design principle: The values of all class-specific armours are 100 % identical. A Warrior in their Fallout Armour has the same armour values as a Ninja or Lycan in their respective equivalent. Differences between classes arise from other mechanics – not from different base armour values.
| Class | Armour Designation | Values |
|---|---|---|
| Warrior | Fallout Armour (Warrior variant) | Identical to all other classes |
| Ninja | Fallout Armour (Ninja variant) | Identical to all other classes |
| Shaman | Fallout Armour (Shaman variant) | Identical to all other classes |
| Sura | Fallout Armour (Sura variant) | Identical to all other classes |
| Lycan | Fallout Armour (Lycan variant) | Identical to all other classes |

Where to Get Armour in Metin2?
Armours like Fallout Armour can be obtained in Metin2 through several routes. The Armour Merchant (also called Armor Shop Dealer) is an NPC found in various towns and areas throughout the game. Through this NPC, you can purchase certain armours directly. Alternatively, many armours drop from monsters or bosses in the open game world.
For crafting or upgrading armours, the Armour Blueprint also plays a key role. These special items – including variants like the Helmet Blueprint – allow you to craft or modify armours. Those seeking Fallout Armour specifically should consider both the NPC trading route and farming in suitable areas.
Upgrading and Customising Armour
Like all armours in Metin2, Fallout Armour can be further developed through the game's upgrade systems. Metin2 generally offers the following options for armour optimisation:
- Upgrade / Enhancement: Armours can be incrementally improved through forging processes, increasing base values.
- Bonus Attributes: Special items allow you to transfer or change additional bonuses on the armour.
- Transmogrification: In some cases, the visual appearance can be customised independently of the values.
Since the base values of all class-specific variants are identical, every class benefits equally from the same upgrade strategies. A separate meta strategy for any particular class is unnecessary with Fallout Armour.
Fallout Armour vs. Other Armours: What to Consider?
Metin2 offers a wide range of armours at different power levels. Fallout Armour is one of them – it competes with other armours in the same tier category. When choosing the right armour for your character, consider these points:
- Class Affiliation: Each armour can only be worn by its designated class. Fallout Armour exists in a unique variant for each of the five classes.
- Value Comparison: Since all class variants within an armour line have identical values, only direct comparison of different armour types at the same level segment matters.
- Upgrade Potential: Some armours can be upgraded more strongly or have better base values as a starting point.
- Availability and Cost: Items that rarely drop or are expensive in trade must be weighed against their value efficiency.
If you're unsure which armour is currently strongest for your class, consult class-specific guides – for example, the Warrior Armours Guide or the Sura Armours Guide.
